Snowbird parks?

I tried to get our ski team at school to go to Brighton but we ended up picking Snowbird because of pricing... I wanted to go somewhere with good parks and I didn't think Snowbird had any? Utah residents feel free to enlighten me

Snowbird has a very small park. If you really want to ski to Brighton just take a bus from snowbird, or hike from Alta.

Dang, well I don't know how much freedom we're all going to have with leaving snowbird to other resorts. :/ is it just a few rails? some little kickers?

Even if you're a diehard park skier take some time and enjoy shredding snowbird, it's really a fun place to ride.

I live in boise, and none of the mountains around here have park crews that know what they're doing. We don't have any decent jumps set up ever, rails are alright, but I was just looking forward to riding somewhere where they have nice setups that I can bring my tricks up to that I've been learning on really small stuff

Snowbird will likely have a 3 foot flat bar. A box that feels 4 feet wide and is also 3 feet long. Roller jumps that are 10 feet on a big day. The good news is you won't get bored with the terrain and you will be able to find natural features all over the mountain.

Snowbird has four kickers and a few rails. Maybe a few boxes, not sure. It's usually just kids in the park. It doesn't matter though, there's no reason to ski park at Snowbird with all the cliffs, chutes, and gnarly gnar it has to offer. You could spend an entire season off-piste at Snowbird and still have cool stuff left to find. If all you care about is spins and flips, then just huck cliffs all day. There's plenty.
